Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented .Tan. 19, 1909.

Original application filed February 4, 1908, Serial No. 414,182. Divided and. this application filed March 2, 1908.

Serial No. 418,661.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, RUDOLPH E. BRUCK- NER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Mount Vernon, county of Vt estchester, State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Lamps, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to improvements in lamps, particularly useful for car lighting, this application being a division from in former application, Serial No. 414,182, filed February 4, 1908.

The main object of the present invention is to provide a simple and effective globeholding appliance.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical section of my improved lamp, on the plane of the line xx of F ig. 2; Fig. 2 is a horizontal section on the plane of the line z-z of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a plan view of a detail of construction.

1 is the frame or body of the lamp, mounted or suspended in any suitable manner, as by means of arms 22 The arms 2 a may constitute a gas ipe and may be provided with a goose-necfr down extension or continuation 3, carrying the burner 4.

5 is a deflector carried by the part 3 between it and the burner 4.

6 is a globe, in this instance, preferably provided with a central opening or perforation 7 at the bottom. The size and outline of the perforation 7 and deflector 5 preferably correspond substantially.

8 is a central tubular outlet flue which projects down into the globe 6, in the preferable construction, and is held centrally over the burner 4 by means of a closure 13 carried by frame 1. The frame 1 is provided with inwardly projecting lugs 15, which support a ring 14.

1010 are globe-engaging clips carried by a spring 11, which spring, in the preferred form, is made up of a series of spring blades of successively increasing length.

1212 are operating rods carried by the free ends of the spring 11. The spring is suitably secured to the frame 1, for example, through the medium of the ring 14, the said spring being attached to said ring in any well-known manner. One obvious means of attachment may be a rivet, such as indicated at 11 (Fig. 1). The operating arms 12l2 pass through slots in the ring 14 and the side of the frame 1, whereby the two operating rods 12 may be pressed toward each other so as to draw in the globe-holding clips 1010. The normal tendency of the spring 11 is to press outwardly, and when in its normal position, the clips snugly embrace the upper edge of the globe 6, holding it firmly in place, as best indicated in Fig. 1. Looking at Fig. 1 it will be seen that the rods 12, which are secured to the spring 11, are thus supported by the slotted ring and frame, so that said spring will be effectively held all around, whereby in turn the bowl receives its necessary support.

In my former application I have shown and described, more in detail, the operation of the other parts of the lamp and the action which prevails while in use.

What I claim is:

1. In a lamp, a hollow frame, a globe suspended therefrom, a spring carried by said frame, globe-engaging devices carried by said spring, a finger piece connected with said spring and projecting through and externally of said frame, and a ring interposed between said spring and said body.

2. In a lamp, a hollow body, a ring carried within the same but spaced apart therefrom, a spring carried by said ring, said spring having two free ends, globe-engaging devices carried by said spring, and finger pieces passing through slots in said ring and frame.

3. In a lamp, a hollow frame, a globe suspended therefrom, a spring carried by said frame, globe-engaging devices carried by said spring, a finger piece connected with said spring and projecting through and ex- RUDOLPH E. BRUOKNER.
